For anyone looking for a spanish immersion preschool, PPLA is amazing! My son just began attending this fall and is already proud of his spanish vocabulary aquisitions! Cynthia, the director is a former bilingual elementary teacher and is amazing! This hidden gem doesn't have a lot of publicity yet so I just wanted to let parents know that if they are seeking an immersion program they should give PPLA a look! Alexandria
The Pumpkin Patch Learning Academy is a great home-based daycare and preschool East of Lake Merritt. We have been there for 6 months now and my son has done really well. He has made some wonderful friends. It is one of the few Spanish Immersion programs in Oakland. The director really wants active participation from the parents, which was a big draw for me. I also love the art projects that they do, and they have recently added organic garden beds and renovated the outdoor area. The kids are very busy and have fun every day! Drawbacks would be the winter and spring breaks of 2 weeks each, plus lots of holidays - so sometimes I have to get alternate care. -Elise
